When you are working three jobs, you see a lot. Certainly one individual can't do much, but occasionally there will be a company out there that wants good employees to promote their sales and eventually make more money. Where are those companies? They seem to be few and far between!

Many times, in my humble opinion, management looks out for themselves. Their thinking seems to be that everyone under them is dispensable and can easily be replaced. Although, this can certainly be true, doesn't it cost employers to rehire and train for positions? Unions collect dues to represent us, but most of the time, their hands are tied too. With rising gas prices, falling stock options, housing slump, retirement plans in flux, social security and Medicare, can't cover our seniors now much less when we get older. Do I need to mention healthcare costs and co pays on insurance? What is the Average Joe to do? Living paycheck to paycheck is what the majority of Americans seem to be doing now.

Something has to give somewhere......recession will hit and the hardest hit will be the young family, older worker, and middle class. Eventually middle class will be non-existent.
